About This Novel
The prototype of the story is rooted in the rural background of Panshi Village, Xue Town, Fuping, Shaanxi Province in the 1970s. The environment, character expressions, psychology and life details are detailed to fit the real suffering and warmth of the poor people at the bottom. The climate of Shaanxi in 1970 was barren and engraved in the bones. Panshi Village, Xue Town, Fuping, Shaanxi Province, is located among the continuous loess ravines, surrounded by endless yellow slope dirt roads, and the mountain wind whizzes past the loess all year round. There are no smooth asphalt roads or convenient means of transportation. Generations of people in Panshi Village have relied on the loess under their feet to make a living and rely on their brute force to survive. At that time, food and clothing were the biggest luxury for every household, and every household lived in poverty. Half a year's worth of bran vegetables was the norm. Being able to eat a mouthful of pure white grains was the most luxurious blessing for the villagers. In this barren land, Xia Jianyuan's family is the most ordinary and most difficult family in the village.
